The two superpowers that engaged during the Cold War were the United States and the Soviet Union. This ideological and geopolitical conflict, which lasted roughly from the late 1940s to the early 1990s, was characterized by a struggle between capitalism and communism. It involved various forms of competition, including military alliances, nuclear arms races, and proxy wars around the globe. The Cold War ultimately ended with the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991.
The Cold War was referred to as a time of a bipolar world because it was characterized by the dominance of two superpowers: the United States and the Soviet Union. These nations held opposing ideologies—capitalism and democracy versus communism—and engaged in a global struggle for influence, leading to the division of the world into two distinct spheres of power. This bipolarity shaped international relations, alliances, and conflicts during the period, as countries often aligned with one of the two superpowers.
